I hear that. I’ve noticed in my region a number of road improvement projects over the past couple months, the worst roads in my town have all been repaved it are in the process of being done.
Dude i just drove back and forth to a mountain lake chalet twice in a day which's main road is closed so everyone is using this poor old beaten dirt path, there are no signs, except a * road closed* when you get on it which you have to to ignore to keep climbing like a mad person, and fuck now any asphalted road with signs that is mildly straight feels like luxury
more or less most of those rules apply in italy, most notably exception lane splitting, the main purpose of scooters and motorcycles is lane splitting traffic :D and as a motorcyclist myself is very satisfating pass all of them. during past weeks, several people use very low traffic on the road not to slowing down, but to increase speed, 90 speed limit? no problem drive well over 100...
Yeah, I don't know why it's so bad in Eastern ontario. Even on a four-lane highway road (actually stroad, but whatever), but you're required to come to complete stop and I will come to a stop in the right-hand Lane for an oncoming emergency vehicle even if there is no traffic I'll have someone behind me with no intention of stopping coming dangerously close to rear-ending me because they weren't thinking I was going to come to a complete stop, EVEN THOUGH IT'S THE LAW TO MOVE OVER AND **STOP**
I wish there was an easy way to remove ice from your car. Scraping works fine on windows but the paint doesn't take it too well. Also smashing it can be hard if the ice is thick.
The only thing I’ve found that works better, better being the operative word over scratching the paint, is a foam scraper. It’s softer on the paint and didn’t scratch during the 3 winters I’d use it, it just didn’t form to the curves as well so it would take a little longer to clear it off.
PRN_TestDrive Yup I have used foam covered stick to smash the ice. I kinda wish there was an heater which could melt a bit of the ice so it would be easy to wipe off.
I actually got a ticket for snow covering my car. It was my bad because the back window really was fully covered (the cop who stopped me told me that he followed me a while with his light flashing and I didn't stop because I couldn't see). My argument was that it was a rental and the car rental place didn't give me a brash.
I had that happen to me once in Alberta, the lack of a brush. Around the time I started PRN I was working for IBM, was sent out to Calgary during a snow storm and my little Mazda3 from Enterprise had summer tires and no snow brush. That was a lot of fun.
That was always what we were told in Ontario with 'Yours to Discover', and I've heard the same thing here also, but according to the letter of the law it's left very ambiguous, without any specifications. Now it's possible precedent has been set in the courts, that's something we'd have to look into further.
@@yizhang2646 Hahah! That's definitely going to get a laugh and probably a ticket. Personally I think its a waste of time for anyone to be pulled over for something simple like that when so many people in Quebec and Ontario are driving around with severely peeled plates without any recourse.
I lived in Quebec for years and then moved to Ontario. I generally think people in Quebec pull over for emergency vehicle...(It's often hard to even pull over in Montreal tho)...matter of fact, I do think people in Quebec drive better than ontarians. Especially during winter...(I have seen more idiot drivers in Ontario than Quebec. also, people are more obedient to speed limits in Quebec than Ontario, when I moved to Ontario a few years ago, I was often the slowest car on the road because I was used to follow the speed limit... 😄 i don't have a thing for quebecers and my experience might be unique lol, but it's just my experience considering that I have lived in both provinces for a few years.
Not likely, typically you need to have insurance for the jurisdiction you reside in. If you somehow have a Quebec driver's license then you'd be able to get insurance here in the province. Some exceptions may exist, I was able to get insurance on my BMW 7 Series when I moved here from Desjardins in Quebec despite the BMW still being registered in Ontario, but my license itself was issued by Quebec so I had an address here.
Here Québec province there is no mechanical inspection mandatory for cars and the cops don't care about these who is driving without insurance like my mom.
It’s true about the inspections, at least for yearly inspections. If a vehicle is being registered that was brought in from out of province or hasn’t been licensed in more than 24 months you need to do an inspection.
@@PRNTestDrive J'ai demandé à mon député provincial Carlos Leitao une inspection des voitures obligatoire à chaque année comme à New-York et aussi que les policiers soient équipé de détecteurs qui disent si le véhicule est assuré ou non en France de telles technologies existent.
What about MMA enclosed mobility scooters. Are the legal to use on the sidewalks? Example the shoprider4 flagship s mobility scooter. Is very small. 2 person can only fit inside and use. I'm thinking of moving to Montreal but there's no mention if a standard sized scooter with door's and roof are legal the scooter protects and keeps user safe and warm with heater, windshield wiper heat also defrost windows keeping them clear. Want to buy one as 4mph speed for sidewalks meets Quebec regulations . Plus reply asap. You can google what it looks like thank you Cheers m8 😊
I've seen those on both the road and the sidewalks, so truthfully I'm not sure where they should be from a legal sense. Back when I was living in Quebec I saw plenty of single-seat mobility scooters on the road, more than on the sidewalk.
So I live in Quebec (but not from here) and I pulled over for an ambulance once. The driver smiled and waved at me and I thought that was weird. Later on I noticed that barely anyone pulls over for emergency vehicles in Quebec. This province is ridiculous. You also never touched on how it is double the penalty for motorcyclists.
@@PRNTestDrive I really don't agree with your observation on that point. In my experience, people always yield to let ambulances or firetrucks pass. I never experienced people not doing so and I lived in many cities and towns around the province too.
You left out an offense that at least 95% of Quebecers do wich is running stop signs and running red lights when turning right. You are supposed to come to a complete stop behind the stop line when facing a stop sign or red light, according to the driver's hand book the vehicle must come to a complete stop for 3 seconds.
Here in germany , people honk the horn at any occasion, when they have to wait a second due to the traffic situation , even to greet people , they know, walking on the sidewalk, police had to be everywhere to fine drivers, what nonsense
i got my probationary license 3 weeks ago and there were 2 police cars stopped on the side of the road. one of them who had stopped someone and one of them was waiting there, to stop someone. I had just merged onto the highway and so many cars were going into the left lane and i had no way of getting into the left lane because cars were going fast and io was already going slow because i saw a police car. the police car ended top taking all my demerit points away and giving me a 315$ ticket. He could've been nice and taken off 1-2 since i just got my license BUT NOOOO he had to be an ass and take my driving privileges away. but we are contesting it
That definitely sounds like a shitty situation, and I feel for you. Often I find that situations like that are unavoidable, there are plenty of times I've tried to merge on the highway and wasn't given room to get on, even at night when that driver could have moved into the other lane. I would definitely take this to court and fight it, even if you still have to pay a fine it's best to go in and explain your side of the story. I hope it works out for you.
If it were up to me, and not like the champion who also commented on your post, the road signs across the entire country would be bilingual, not just in Montreal, the GTA, and Ottawa. Unfortunately if you can't speak or understand French and you're driving in Quebec, you'll only be able to understand about 50% of the signs in the Montreal area.
You are stating a lot of HIGHWAY rules like they apply to ROADs/streets rules. Which they DONT Some of them do but you're NOT going to get pulled over for going 60km/h in a 90km/h zone but you might if you're going like 50km/h on a 100km/h open highway
That's why Québec's autoroutes all have maximum and minimum speed postings, most of them are 60km/h minimum, 100km/h maximum, so doing 50kph on the autoroute on a clear day will absolutely get you pulled over. I went through the ENTIRE highway safety legislation when putting together this video.
What is wrong with people today? Don't they know the law of a school bus? Sounds like they don't know the law.I think they need a $1000 fine and loose there driving license for good.They need to learn that law.What if that was there own children that got hit by a car that ran the bus stop with flashing red lights on?
I completely agree, there's been a few times since moving here that I've seen people blow right past school buses. I just don't comprehend it, some people are just so focused on themselves.
Section 406 Sorry to tell you, but you misunderstand that we don't care about emergency vehicles.

I live in Qc for all my live and I see people not caring about emergency vehicles at all. I don't know why you take it so personal... like he was talking about you, the world is the about you buddy. La plus part des gens au Qc sont caves pis thats it surtout dans les grosses villes, ont parle pas des petites places dans la campagne...
Uh I JUST saw this yesterday yet again. On Sherbrooke street a first responder was coming. Ppl still turning onto Sherbrooke. It was disgusting. It happens a lot. Born and raised here. We can admit when we suck. The number of times I need to honk at cars to move!!!
People are no longer able to drive the speed limit because the roads are in such a poor shape in QC.

I bet! I think only a few places here in North America allow lane splitting, it’s not something I’ve looked into though.
Thx
Considering Quebec city drivers don't signal their lane changes or even make their own lanes...
Tell me about it.
Thank you for this video! I'm an Ontarian planning a trip through Québec so this is exactly what I was looking for!
Glad it was helpful!
Disregard for emergency vehicles is also seen in Ottawa - something I found very weird when I moved here from Toronto.
It's really bad, and worst of all I've had people comment here to say they don't believe me.
Yeah, I don't know why it's so bad in Eastern ontario.

The plate frame thing is a thing in Pennsylvania as well. Got pulled over for it literally just as I crossed the state line, crazy.
It's good to know if you're travelling outside your state/province, silly reason to get pulled over.

remote start the car for 10minutes. Have AC on full blast with heat. All ice and snow losen up so you can brush away easily
Abri tempo !
Can't say for other cities, but here in Quebec City and Lévis, i do see people pull over for ambulances and other emergency vehicles.
It's something I don't ever see happen, and I've been driving into Montreal daily for a couple months now.
I actually got a ticket for snow covering my car.

Could you do a part2 with motorcycle laws in quebec, and maybe talk about the "no chase rule"
We'll see what we can do!

It's true that drivers here on Ontario are pretty awful.
What about a school bus law in Quebec? What is the fine in Quebec for passing a school bus with flashing red lights on?
$274 and 9 demerit points, I’m surprised how many people I’ve seen blow past a school bus, but it should be a common sense sort of thing 🤷🏻♂️
Is there any red light camera or speed cameras in Quebec?
There are, more speed cameras that red light ones compared with Ontario for example.
@@PRNTestDriveactually I would argue Ontario is now close to surpassing Quebec in both speed and red light enforcement through cameras
So you can not lane split while cars are moving but you can filter through when the cars are stopped at a stop or red light right?
It’s not explicitly prohibited when cars are stoped. Get your ticket, fight it in municipal court, you will win.
Only one way to test it.
What is the fine for running a stopped school bus in Quebec, Canada?
It's supposed to be between $200 and $300.
Please if is possible to get a esurance in Quebec with Ontario draving Lance's or u can not

It's quite the same thing here in France, but most of the rules are common sense, but we do let the emergencies pass every time
